Thai Green Curry Paste

Green curry paste is a spicy combination of chilis, lemongrass, and Thai ginger. This recipe uses an entire four ounce bottle but you may want to start with a tablespoon or so and adjust the flavor to your liking.

Broccoli Slaw

Baby Bok Choi

Green Onion

Prepared broccoli slaw is a tasty and easy way to get those healthy greens in. Give it some ethnic flair with a spicy green curry dressing that takes only seconds to put together. If you can’t find baby bok choi, go ahead and use regular green cabbage or leave it out all together.
